Georgia tops the list for business once again. Governor Brian Kemp, along with the Georgia Department of Economic Development, announced that state has been recognized as the number one state for business for the 12th consecutive year.
The top 25 States for Doing Business rankings from Area Development magazine are determined by scores in more than a dozen categories, based on input from approximately 50 site consultants.
“For 12 straight years, site selectors who decide where companies invest have voted Georgia as the ‘Top State for Business’ in this annual poll from the leading publication for these decisionmakers,” said Governor Brian Kemp.
“While we've earned this ranking for over a decade, it's by no means guaranteed. It is a reflection of the sustained commitment we have to excellence and a team approach to economic development. I want to thank and congratulate the incredible GDEcD team, our partners in the legislature, and the local leaders and economic developers all over the state who have yet again made this achievement possible on behalf of hardworking Georgians!”
Georgia ranked in the top five in 10 categories and took the overall number one ranking. This is the 16th such ranking in the annual series.
